With an output of 550 Lumens, the Knog Blinder ARC 5.5 Front Light, will flood any trail or road with light, giving you total confidence whatever the conditions. Knog's most powerfull light is also fully waterproof and USB rechargeable to boot.

An XM-L2 Cree LED provides an output of 550 lumens. This is matched with an elliptical beam of 16° vertical and 24° horizontal, allowing you to be seen, from multiple angles, by other road users, at over 1000m.

The lithium ion battery is rechargeable from a waterproof USB port on the rear of the light and with a 7hr full charge, maintains consistent brightness throughout the specified run-time. Up to 1.8 hours in High Beam, 3.5 hours in Medium Beam, 7.9 hours in Low Beam and 17 hours in Flashing mode.

A long button push on (0.75sec) prevents accidental activation of your light. Short presses switch modes continuously. Similarly, the light is switched off with a long button push off (0.5sec). There is a low battery indicator and a storage mode. Activated when the light will not be used for a period of time to optimise battery longevity.

About Front Lights

Cycle light technology has moved on greatly over the years, traditional 'bulb' lights have been more or less replaced by LED and HID systems. Battery, lens and reflector technology has been improved greatly resulting in brighter and longer run times. Wiggle lists a large selection of bicycle lights suitable for lit streets in the city, or unlit country lanes and even bike lights suitable for off road riding, ranging from around £8 to over £300 they vary greatly in purpose and performance. Tiny LED's with flashing or constant modes are great for being seen in built up areas, whilst rechargeable systems can keep the road or off-road trails lit up for non-stop riding at night.

All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.

In order to cycle on the road it may be a legal requirement in your country to use a light certified to a specific standard or an international equivalent. Most but not all lights sold on Wiggle are certified and labelled with a European CEN standard. Please check your country’s requirements to see if this is sufficient and if necessary contact the manufacturer to see if this light has been additionally certified for your country. Strangely some of the very best lights are not legal on their own and should be used with an additional legal backup light.

huge disappointment
Simply wont hold a charge even after 24 hours.
Lasts a couple of minutes then dead. Not cost effective for me to return it. Should have paid more attention to other reviews. Had such high hopes but sadly dashed. That's the end of knog for me.

A little beauty.
A very nice, compact easy to fit front light.
Easy to charge, and use.
Light is more than enough for perfect visibility and has a good wide field of light.
Easy to remove, charge and reinstall.

Love Knog ARC 5.5 - way bright!
I already have a Knog Roadblinder Rear and Roadblinder 3 front, I wanted an ARC so that my Roadblinder 3 can stay on my helmet and with all of my Knog lights, the ARC was another great choice. Superior quality and fantastic light for night riding, on or off road.

bright enough for road
bright enough for road biking on unlit country lanes, can see potholes and mud etc. does tend to creep round on handlebars and point upwards when going over bumps but easily pushed back into position.
battery life pretty much as advertised, close to 2hrs on full beam when fully charged, which takes 6+ hours

Answer:

Knog recommends to only mount the light to the round sections of your handelbars. So close to the stem is best. The manual even points out not to use it in combination with cables routed underneath your bar tape. As using cables underneath your bar tape makes the handlebars kind of oval, mounting it on aero bars won't work either.
